rodingites, metasomatically altered rocks ***ociated with the
formation of serpentinite. partheite and lawsonite are
polymorphs. it has been described from rodingite dikes within an
ophiolite sequence in turkey and in veins within a gabbroic
intrusion, the denezhkin kamen complex, russia. ***ociated
minerals include prehnite, thomsonite, augite, chlorite and
tremolite.[3] it was first described in 1979 and named for the
